Excluding Reports From Expanded Access

You can exclude particular reports and prevent their access by the expanded access server, for performance or security reasons. An ERO parameter, VIEWTAPE, excludes reports from access by the expanded access server.

Note: For more information, see the section Tape Online Access: VIEWTAPE in the chapter "Expanded Retention Option."

Initialization sub parameter maxgent‑value of the STORGRP0 and STORGRP1–STORGRP9 initialization parameters specifies the maximum number of generations of a report to write to tape. So, the number of reports written to any one tape are limited. You can want to increase maxgent‑value for tape storage groups that contain reports that are browsed from tape frequently.
